Simone's Kitchen B&B

Location was a short walk to the centre, down a relatively quiet street, and garage parking was available (you must pre-book). The room was clean, with a big bed, and modern shower, which was surprising for such an old building. The man who checked us in was friendly and upbeat.

The fan in our room was broken, and in 30+ degree heat, it didn’t go unnoticed. The stairs are steep and narrow and we were staying on the 3rd floor. It would have been nice if the man checking us in helped carry at least one bag when showing us the room. Consider fly traps over the windows. Because the nights were very hot and we had no working fan in the room, we had to leave the windows open. Which meant we had to spend the night being eaten by mosquitos.

It is a spacious apartment at a nice location for exploring Antwerp. There is a park nearby with a large playground. There is a Jumbo supermarket around the corner. We visited with two small children. The TV with access to streaming services (use your own subscription) is a huge plus. The kitchen has plates and knifes. It was warm inside, the windows do open, and the fan is a nice addition.

The couch bed was a bit uncomfortable if you are not a small child, but ok for one night. You hear the neighbors walking around quite loudly in the evening. It is how these buildings are I suppose. The bathroom is small, but again OK for one night. Three flights of small stairs was hard with kids and stuff and strollers.

It was very clean and cozy, the location is pretty good and there is a jumbo 1 minute away. Also very nice staff.

The bathroom - the door was broken and would not close and the bathroom itself needed renovation. Also it is very small.

Only could have had better communication... code given in email for non main door Also perhaps warn people of the stairs
